Sennecke scored three goals in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Sennecke had gone five games without a goal and three contests without a point. He broke his slump with the first hat trick of his NHL career, securing the feat with the game-winning tally at 2:54 of overtime. Sennecke leads all rookies with 18 goals, and he's up to 41 points, 113 shots on net, 56 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 52 outings. The future is bright for this 19-year-old, and he's had no trouble showing off his talent this year.

Dostal stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Dostal picked up his sixth straight win, though the Flames didn't make it easy. The Ducks' offense was carried by rookie Beckett Sennecke's first hat trick, with the game-winner securing the hattie in overtime. Dostal has allowed 12 goals during his winning streak and is up to 19-12-2 with a 3.00 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 35 appearances. The Ducks will likely turn to Ville Husso for a tough matchup Monday in Edmonton.

Bertuzzi scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Panthers.

Bertuzzi had been in a bit of a rut, earning just one helper over the previous five games. He got the Blackhawks on the board late in the second period, but that was the extent of their offense Sunday. Bertuzzi is up to 25 goals, 39 points, 114 shots on net, 37 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 49 appearances. He's been pushing to match his career high of 62 points from the 2021-22 campaign with the Red Wings, though he can't afford to have many more slumps if he's going to challenge that mark.

Knight allowed four goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Panthers, who also scored an empty-netter.

Knight kept the game close for two periods, but the Panthers took over in the third. The 24-year-old netminder had not allowed more than three goals in any of his previous eight outings, going 5-2-1 in that span. Overall, he's down to a 15-14-6 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 35 starts this season. The Blackhawks will look to bounce back Tuesday in Minnesota.

Schwindt registered an assist and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Schwindt picked up his first point in five outings since he returned from an arm injury. The 24-year-old was scratched Saturday in Minnesota, and he may be prone to the occasional trip to the press box if he can't contribute regularly on offense. He's at three points, seven shots on net, 16 hits, six blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 15 contests this season.

Rodrigues logged two assists, four shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Rodrigues logged his first multi-point effort since Dec. 19 versus the Hurricanes. His performance Sunday ended a six-game skid on offense for the center, who has recently moved up to the top line in an effort to spark his offense. Rodrigues has a total of 23 points, 117 shots on net, 30 PIM, 51 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 51 appearances. He's best utilized as a depth forward in fantasy.

Forsling notched two assists and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Forsling helped out on goals by Mackie Samoskevich and Carter Verhaeghe in the third period as the Panthers built up their lead. Over 27 games since the start of December, Forsling has gotten on the scoresheet in just five contests, earning a goal, six assists and a minus-6 rating in that span. The shutdown defenseman is at two goals, 17 assists, 61 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 37 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 51 outings overall. It's been a rough campaign for the Panthers, and it's showing up in Forsling's numbers, though he should help keep things stable on the back end.

Samoskevich scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Samoskevich has had some tough sledding lately, picking up just four assists over the previous 18 contests. He snapped the goal drought at 5:20 of the third period, and his tally stood as the game-winner. Samoskevich is now at five goals, 20 points, 109 shots on net, 94 hits and a minus-5 rating over 49 appearances. His point pace is similar to last year (31 points in 72 regular-season outings), but Samoskevich's 4.6 shooting percentage has held him back in his second NHL campaign. It could be tough for him to improve, as the Panthers have all of their top wingers available now, leaving the 23-year-old in a fourth-line assignment.

Reinhart scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Reinhart scored for the second game in a row, stretching the Panthers' lead to 4-1 late in the third period. The 30-year-old is up to 26 goals, 50 points, 132 shots on net, 49 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 51 appearances. He's hovering just under a point-per-game pace, so he's still within range of matching his totals of 39 goals and 81 points from 79 regular-season contests in 2024-25.

Verhaeghe scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Verhaeghe put the Panthers ahead 3-1 at 7:24 of the third period, and he also set up Tobias Bjornfot's second tally of the game to close out the scoring in the final minute. This was Verhaeghe's fifth multi-point effort over the last eight games, a span in which he has three goals and eight assists. The 30-year-old forward is up to 15 goals, 40 points, 111 shots on net, 48 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 50 outings this season. Verhaeghe's offense has been strong lately, making him a reliable option in fantasy.
